Herzliya, Israel - July 10, 2006 - Exanet, the leader in clustered NAS software, today announced the industry's first Continuous Data Protection product to fully integrate with high-end, high-performance, clustered NAS platforms. ExaStore CDP enhances an organization's ability to quickly and easily recover critical data by giving administrators access to a virtually infinite set of data recovery points, securely and continuously delivering the right file to the right client at the right time.

ExaStore CDP encapsulates and integrates replication with the ability to capture block-level changes on a continuous basis, reducing capacity requirements by capturing only the portion of the files that has changed. ExaStore CDP enables a painless and simple transfer to a secondary Disaster Recovery system, as well as a simple roll back to any known good recovery point before the event. In both cases, the system enables a full reconstruction of the data from the CDP image, in combination with a previously replicated copy of primary data. 'The announcement of ExaStore CDP underscores the significant steps we've taken to bring NAS clustering to the enterprise,' said Rami Schwartz, Exanet's CEO. 'Deploying CDP on a clustered distributed file system platform is a complex and difficult task, as evidenced by the problems and delays other suppliers - such as NetApp - have experienced in not being able to provide CDP functionality in their clustered NAS systems to date. In addition, we see great business potential with enterprise customers and application partners, in fields like manufacturing and engineering, where there is a constant need for performance and scalability as well as data protection functionality for versioning purposes.'

The ExaStore software architecture is based on server nodes that are deployed in a clustered, high-availability configuration, eliminating single failure points and minimizing downtime. ExaStore is built around a patented distributed shared file system that enables administrators to manage an ExaStore installation as simply as a single NAS filer, regardless of how many nodes or total capacity are deployed, dramatically reducing storage management expenses. ExaStore utilizes industry-standard servers and storage, giving customers the freedom to select best-of-breed components and eliminating vendor lock-in. The storage and server components of an ExaStore installation can be scaled independently, allowing customers to precisely tune the system to meet their unique capacity, performance and availability requirements.

ExaStore CDP will be available through Exanet partners worldwide at the end of the third quarter 2006.
